Can i disable the sensor and use as regular on/off switch dimmer?

Yes, you disable the sensor totally and just use it manually by tapping it on or off.

No. You can dim it but when you turn it off and back on it comes back to full brightness.

You can use a dimmer to replace the normal on/off switch to control it. The installation is the same as the normal switch.

I would just remove the dimmer and plug directly into a switch-controlled outlet. You could use a dimmer switch to control the outlet, which would accomplish your objective.

I used the X10 SR227 switch for an outside light and it is off/on only. I don't believe that it has dimmer capabilities. You might want to call the company direct to get clarification. All the dimmers that I currently use are inside the house and they are modules.

NO - the unit has a switching power supply for the LEDs. A dimmer would do nothing to the brightness other than on/off at some point in the range.

I had not tried with a standard dimmer on the line side. I had a solid state one on the low-voltage side that worked fine until it was determined that I really just wanted to install a simple toggle. :)

You cannot use a dimmer module to control appliances. Dimming would damage the appliance. You have to use the dedicated appliance module.

Yes, you can turn off the switch so that the deck light will not activate when it gets dark.

the sensor and the monitor can be turned off. so you have two places to turn it off with a simple switch.

The only way to override the automatic light-sensing "off" switch is to put tape over the sensor. It would stay on all the time then.

Yes. You can slide the switch to ON and it will act like a regular light switch. Or you can slide it to AUTOMATIC (you adjust the timer to your liking) and it will act like a sensor. I have had my sensors (6) for over 3 years and love them. They were cheaper on Amazon than Lowes or Home Depot.

No, I don't think it can be turned off. There is a light which shows when the motion sensor is active.

I believe that you will need to adjust the timer. There are various settings that you can adjust to meet your lighting and security purposes. You may have the timer set in the test position. I would check here first, the switch is located on the bottom side of the sensor.

No. You should not install a dimmer switch on the z-wave dimmer (dimmer on dimmer). Instead install a regular toggle switch or a momentary (push button) switch to operate the dimmer.

No. The only way to do so is to use a toggle switch add on. If you don't want the light you can simply not install it as I did.

I'm sure you could since the light sensor is just an inline module. If you leave it off just put it on a switchable circuit or you'll have to splice the line, which might mess with the waterproof nature of the line.
